Can't change UITableViewCell size in Interface Builder

Question

Does anyone have the same problem as I do? ... I've upgraded to the iPhone SDK 3.2 and I am unable to resize UITableViewCell object in my XIB file (usually I've been just resizing the view but now the cell has the same size and there is just a grey are around) ... btw, I've tried to reinstall twice including one deep reinstall.

Answer 1

I have 3.2 installed and don't have that issue. Check that you are returning the correct cell height for heightForRowAtIndexPath. So for a cell at section zero, row zero (that uses a custom UITableViewCell), use the height of the cell defined in the XIB:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if(indexPath.section == 0 && indexPath.row == 0)
        return m_customCell.frame.size.height;
    else
        return 44;
}

Answer 2

Hey I had this same issue. This is old, so maybe you found a solution already, but for those who haven't...

Select the cell in IB, and bring up the size panel (by clicking to it or with command-3). Under size & position, set to frame, and edit the height box there.

Easy, huh. Don't know how we missed this.
